The Sun God’s Dilemma III

And thinking about his past, makes his blood boil to the point he wanted to destroy things, but Helios immediately repressed his anger by composing himself at once. He even set his face into an icy mask. Besides, he is already a god and above those bullies! They even feared him by now. He has his own palace and throne! Helios just continued to listen to them with a cold but displeased expression on his handsome features, while both Lucius and Motohama kept glancing his way.

They were worried about him, and his mood was now bad. Lucius could even sense a tirade of rants later on to show how pissed he was. Helios wanted to leave this place already, since he cannot stand being in her presence anymore.

The Sun God has been suppressing his anger for so long the entire time and he wasn’t sure if he could hold it back anymore. And it seemed Lucius could read his mind, so he turned to look at him and whispered;

“Um, my Lord. I think you should excuse yourself now, since the meeting has concluded.”

Helios clenched his teeth as he walked towards them. Both Louise and the man stopped talking and turned to face him as he approached. They sensed his anger. Louise raised an eyebrow at him, while Helios glared at her with so much loathing before turning his attention to the man.

“Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got work to do.” Helios said through clenched teeth. His voice was icy and hard.

“Oh, I am so sorry for taking your time, my lord and yes, you may leave now..” the man responded at once with a hint of fear.

Helios said nothing, his teeth clenched, then he immediately stormed out of the room, slamming the door as he went. Everyone stared after him while both Lucius and Motohama were apologetic before going after him. The other Radiant members just inclined their heads at them as they went out of the room to follow their Lord.

“Well, that’s so unexpected.” The man commented, while shivering a bit. “But that man is terrifying..”

“He is just in a bad mood because of my presence here.” Louise said with a sigh. “Let us say our relationship is pretty complicated.”

“Indeed. He is just salty with you, since you love giving him a hard time lately. Not only that, it seems he realises you are not an ordinary person.” Ryan said, looking at her.

“Oh… wait, you mean he doesn’t know that you are part of the power elite??”

“Yup! And I am not the type of person who often flaunts my wealth to other people, my grandfather and father didn’t teach me and my brother to be like that, they taught us to be humble to other people, especially towards the unfortunate ones.”

“Ah, anyway, shall we discuss more about our future collaboration? Let’s do this in my office, then.” As he leads her to his office.

“Alright.”

Louise just nodded and immediately followed him to the office, while Ryan waited at the Lobby for now.

Meanwhile

Helios was furious about what happened moments ago, and this caused him to ransack the room, causing the room to be destroyed. Everything was a mess. Almost all the tables and chairs were upturned. Broken stuff filled the room. There were a lot of shattered glasses everywhere, and papers scattered across the floor. He even starts pacing around the room with an enraged expression on his face. The Sun God clenched his hand into a fist, nails digging deeply into the skin of his hand, causing it to bleed a bit.

Not only that, they just got back to the Radiant Fortress owned by Lord Helios himself, which is in New York State, while his Elite didn't know what to do as they silently watched their Lord destroy the entire room in a fit of rage. Both Lucius and Motohama felt helpless. They never saw their Lord act this way. His anger was so strong now, so terrifying. Then Helios turned to look at them. His eyes filled with fury, while rage fuelled his expression.

“GET OUT!! ALL OF YOU GET THE FUCK OUT AND LEAVE ME ALONE!! DO IT NOW!! JUST GET OUT!!” Helios snapped at them, his voice icy as his eyes flashed with murderous intent. He chased them out instead.

As soon as they felt this, everyone gulped and immediately left the room as fast as they could. Those in the Elite who were familiar with their Lord’s temper were so scared, they had long hidden away.

They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would become the scapegoat, so the Elite bolt outta the room. Both Lucius and Motohama sighed as they walked to the door as well, but Helios’s crisp voice stopped the two in their tracks.

“Lucius and Motohama stay.”

This caused the duo to exchange glances for a moment before turning around to face Helios. A hint of surprise crossed their faces as they looked at their Lord. Helios eyed them coldly. His arms crossed.

“Is there something you need, my Lord?” Lucius asked him in a calm voice.

It didn’t amuse Helios at all. He is so pissed at everything around him at this very moment, especially at that woman. He wanted to beat someone up so badly. To show them how pissed he is. Helios gritted his teeth in anger as he thought more of it.

Unable to suppress his anger, the young Sun God grabbed another unbroken glass on a nearby table and he angrily threw it to the floor. The glass shattered with a crash, juice flowed across the floor like blood. He glared at it as he seethed with rage.

“Damn woman!! I hate her and this day so much! She ruined my day by being there!!! Not only that, she is always being mean to me every single time!! How dare she do this to me!!” Helios ranted angrily. “I HATE THIS SO MUCH!! NO! I LOATHED IT!! WHAT THE HELL DID I DO TO DESERVE SUCH TREATMENT FROM HER??”

“UGH! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME??? GODDAMMIT!! WHY AM I SO AFFECTED BY THIS?? THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!! I JUST FEEL SO CONFUSED THESE PAST MONTHS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO HER…..JUST WHY IS SHE LIKE THAT TO ME??? WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY??”

Both Lucius and Motohama remained silent as they watched their Lord continue to rave about the people who hurt him before, that he wanted them to pay, including his confusing feelings towards Louise and why it seems to affect him so badly, especially her actions towards him lately. Helios is at wit's end at this point. He felt so torn and in pain, and he had never felt this way before.

Anyway, it is Motohama’s first time to see Helios rant this way. He didn’t expect to see such a side of his Lord. A side he never saw before because Helios rarely shows emotion at all unless he is in a good mood or when he is so angry, but most of the time, his Lord is so cold. So seeing this side is so rare.

It was so overwhelming for him. Then he threw a pleading look at Lucius. Not sure what to do. The other man just gave him a helpless expression, since he cannot do anything at all. Lucius took a deep breath and immediately approached Helios and wrapped his arms around Helios to calm him down.

Helios just closed his eyes as he let himself enjoy this rare moment of comfort and warmth. And without realising it at all, he began to sob and Lucius just let him be. The Sun God was so grateful that he had Lucius by his side at all times. At least there was someone to talk to about his feelings. Someone to comfort him every time he is in pain.

“There, there, it’s alright to cry, so let everything out now..” he told him quietly as he held Helios tightly in his arms. “And everything will be alright, Helios.. please don't worry..”

And it took a while for Helios to calm down in his arms.

“I-I am so confused! I just hate feeling this.. way!” The Sun God’s voice was full of pain. His throat was also dry and hoarse. “Why am I being like this.? Is there something wrong with me? Why does it hurt? Can you please answer me, Lucius?”

“I wish I knew as well.

“I-It’s just frustrating for m-me.”

“I know..”

And Lucius simply held him, and hugged him like the way a friend should be during those lonely days when he needed someone the most or the time he was sad. When they broke apart, Helios’s eyes were wet and swollen with tears. He wiped them away with a sad, pained expression on his lips.

“I think, I should take a rest now, since I just feel so mentally drained right now.” His voice was shaking as he told him this. “I wanted to be alone for a while, especially because there are still a lot of things to understand like my feelings and other things.”

“Alright, Helios, take a rest now and please take as much time as you can. I will just inform everyone not to disturb you.”

Helios just sighed as he nodded. Today was a horrible day for him and a lot of things had happened to him today, and it caused him to end up having a mental breakdown and some mixed feelings towards her, a dilemma. It is something he did not expect to feel today. Not only that, even Motohama had witnessed everything, but luckily for him. Helios has some trust in him, since the man proved himself to him a couple of times already.

Anyway, Helios immediately composes himself at once and his face turns blank and cold before going out of the room, while both Lucius and Motohama quickly inform the rest of Radiant not to disturb their Lord. The duo hoped their Lord would feel better soon.

Only time would tell..
